high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 501698

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

An issue was discovered in Insyde InsydeH2O with kernel 5.0 through 5.5. DMA attacks on the FwBlockServiceSmm shared buffer used by SMM and non-SMM code could cause TOCTOU race-condition issues that could lead to corruption of SMRAM and escalation of privileges. This attack can be mitigated using IOMMU protection for the ACPI runtime memory used for the command buffer. This attack can be mitigated by copying the firmware block services data to SMRAM before checking it.

Insyde BIOS is typically used in RUGGEDCOM APE products and some SIMATIC devices. Please refer to the vendor advisory for a precise list of models concerned.
